I found it in Shape magazine, and it's called 

AMBER ALE TURKEY CHILI

Serves 8

1 teaspoon + 1 tablespoon olive oil

1 1/2 pounds lean ground turkey

1 teaspoon salt

1 large onion, chopped

4 cloves garlic, finely chopped

2 tablespoons chili powder

2 teaspoons ground cumin

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 12 ounce bottle amber ale

1 28 ounce can crushed tomatoes

1 tablespoon honey

1 15 ounce can black beans, rinsed and drained

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

1. Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a deep sauté pan over medium. Add turkey and brown, while breaking up meat with a wooden spoon, for 5 minutes or until no pink remains. Transfer to a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.

2. Drain liquid from pan and add remaining olive oil. Add onion and sauté for 5 minutes or until soft. Add garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Stir in chili powder, cumin, and oregano; sauté for 30 seconds. 

3. Pour ale in and let simmer for 5 minutes. Return turkey to pot and add crushed tomatoes, honey, and a 1/2 cup water. Reduce heat to medium low; simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.

4. Add beans during last 5 minutes of cooking to heat through. Stir in lime juice and spoon into eight bowls. Serve with sour cream, cheddar, scallions, and a lime wedge on the side if desired.
